Black Bottom Cupcakes

My sister in law Rachel gave me this recipe. These are so yummy!! Most people like them without frosting but I prefer them with frosting so you choose. I usually frost them with a homemade chocolate ganache. But they are still tasty just by themselves.Don't those look tasty?Black Bottom CupcakesCake:1 cup sugar1 egg1/2 cup oil1 T. white vinegar1 tsp vanilla1 cup water1 1/2 cup flour1 tsp baking soda1/4 cup cocoa1/4 tsp saltFilling:8 oz softened cream cheese1 egg1/3 cup sugar1 cup chocolate chips1 cup coconut(if you don't like coconut you can leave this out)

Mix all the cake ingredients until combined. Fill lined muffin tins up about 1/3 of the way full. Next mix all of the filling ingredients together and place a Tablespoon of filling on top of each cupcake like this:Bake at 350 for 24 minutes. I only had to bake mine for about 16 minutes so it depends on the oven. I love these with the coconut in them but some people don't like coconut so do it without the coconut they are just as good!!
